I try to make a forum search with "kia" as the searched word and the system does not accept the word. I have this message:



Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : kia
Any idea why is this happens?

You must make a query with 4 characters or more. This is due to the database settings. If we indexed 3 letter words the database would be massive.

Sorry!

You can use Google to search for 3 letter terms, i.e.

Google (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=%22kia%22+site%3Adigital-kaos.co.uk&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=e232d99b0c0fc51f)

If your slightly more specific which in turn would make the search term longer than 3 letters then you may find what your looking for.

Say for example maybe you want to type;
"Kia air conditioning unit".
